Panzanella Recipe (Tuscan Bread Salad)

Over the last few days I had a visit from a good old friend of mine who comes from Tuscany.

My younger sister collecting tomatoes

Emanuela is a girl full of life and just like all Italians she loves her food and she is a great cook herself.

We have lots of memories of good times and plenty of laughs together; some friendships never seem to fade over the years and even though we have not been seen each other for a while, every time is like we have never been apart. Good friendships are one of the best things in life after good food of course!

As my mum has beautiful tomatoes in her garden I kindly asked Emanuela to make "Panzanella" as I was really craving for it since I had it in Tuscany long time ago when I visited her.

This is a typical Tuscan dish made with rustic Tuscan bread, fresh tomatoes, basil and cucumbers. A fresh, cheap and simple dish but full of taste!

You will need rustic bread which should be stale; so best to buy it and leave it aside for a couple of days.
